User:GoShow

This user is usually at the recent changes sections and is willing to do more in counter-vandalism. I am well respected in helping other user's info with representation provided.

Finally, if you think I am not ready yet, possibly close to using the situation, I would be happy to know why, otherwise, I do look forward to Wikipedia's cause, and thank you.

I've fixed the formatting of your request for you since your links went to random other users' contributions, talkpage, etc. Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:34, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please respond to this query first. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:05, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I did. I said I spotted them on a STiki preview, but no worries, I said I caught on them I couldn't use the the buttons anyway--GoShow (...............) 04:58, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Basically, I would rather call it a preview it's on the Wikipedia:STiki section called "Download". I downloaded a preview* STiki 2.1 – Current version released 2012-07-18 (902 kB) shown on my Java Documents. I am beginning to be interested in this, and that is why every time I open the preview to see what articles are vandalised and just edited recently just to check on articles and other conditions. Sorry if I called it Java STiki, it just appeared on my Java documents and checked on the neat stuff, thanks, anyway.--GoShow (...............) 05:10, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I modified the above message to be more page friendly -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk No talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 05:35, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment)The above incident has been clarified on User talk:GoShow and it was done in good faith, so IMO it should not be seen as a hurdle to assign WP:ROLLBACK.--DBigXray 07:09, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am active at reverting vandalism. This tool will be helpful to me. — Abhishek  Talk 19:26, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) This user was recently blocked for editwarring.--DBigXray 23:19, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. In many cases, reverts of vandalism need to be explained to the user. I'm concerned that you comments may be a tad bitey. If you are going to get involved in maintenance tasks such as CV, you will also need to be prepared to answer users' questions fairly promptly. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:08, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
@DBigXray, the block was over a year ago. And if you do want to know about the second EW block, all I was trying to do was revert an IP who was redirecting the article to a wrong one and moreover the article deserved to be a standalone, but despite that I was blocked saying I was EW and I did not care to request an unblock. I agree it was my mistake in my first EW block, but I have come across some users who are constantly blocked for EW, but the community still retains their rollback rights. This just shows how the community is very intolerant to some people taking just one or two incidents and always being against them and on the other hand being very tolerant and patient to some who have a history of edit warring and/or a battleground mentality. No wonder a handful of editors just want to get out from here. This place is going crazy! — Abhishek  Talk 07:48, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
DBigXray's comments were not taken into consideration when making this decision. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:57, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nyswimmer

Reason for requesting rollback Nyswimmer (talk) 03:04, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would like rollback privileges because I edit primarily for vandalism, and it would make my job so much easier. I will be very careful to use it only when needed, as I read up on the rules and rights of have rollback privileges. I have been a part of Wikipedia for over a year, and have not received any complaints about any of my edits.--Nyswimmer (talk) 03:04, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. You've only made 77 edits in over a year, and less than 50 are vandalism reverts. I'd like to see at least a couple of hundred manual reverts . Also, your talk page is blank without any archives; that's entirely your prerogative of course, but it would make it so much easier for us to see how you would handle communications with others.

User:LemonTwinkle

Yeah well hi, granted I'm fairly new (I don't know if there is a specific time restraint on requesting this). I would like rollback as most of my editing revolves around reverting vandalism/new pages and it would help to get things done quicker. I am able to tell what is good faith and what is not, as I frequently use the AGF option in the twinkle gadget. If this is too soon you feel or there is some other issue, feedback and constructive criticism would be much appreciated :) --LemonTwinkle 11:01, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Yes, unfortunately it comes a bit too soon. You have only made a total of 103 edits to main space, and probably not all of them are CV reverts. You may wish to learn all about counter-vandalism at the WP:CVU/A, but you will probably need at least 200 mainspace edits to be accepted there but it may be worth a try. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk)
 Comment: Kudpung, it's 200 edits overall. Electric Catfish 10:50, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. Not done this time. You need to continue editing a while to familiarise yourself with policies. Please consider reapplying in a couple of months. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:25, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, an editor who has been here for almost two years needs more experience. End sarcasm. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 18:00, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you had the experience and learned from it, you wouldn't get so many warnings and blocks. I want to see a clear run of of a couple of months before according you the tools to combat vandalism. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:08, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bradshaws1

I have just graduated from the Counter-Vandalism Unit Academy. My instructor was Vertium. I have been on Wikipedia for almost four years now, and would like to find new ways of fighting vandalism. My CVUA page is here. --Bradshaws1 (talk) 16:24, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
